Amy's million dollar dream house

“Too young (and too woman) to aim so high”

People often say, 'I have this idea', but it’s not often you hear someone say, 'I did this thing!'. That's what Amy's all about - moving from ideas to action. This mindset hit home for her a few years back when she was ready to buy her dream house. 

She was all set, only awaiting the bank's approval for her loan. However, the call from the bank was a harsh letdown: “Hey, Amy, we've decided you're aiming too high for a young woman your age and we're not going to give you the loan.” Standing there, Amy thought in disbelief "I just made €200,000 in sales last week! How is this possible?"

Amy Vandeputte cheers

Don't listen to the naysayers

€915,000 in sales in
only 2 months time

Amy knew she had more people lining up to work with her than she could actually serve, so she created an online program that combined all her knowledge.

Right then and there, she decided no one was going to tell her what she could or couldn't do. Even if it meant buying her house in cash. She decided to sell her flagship program Business Freedom Elevator™ to more people than ever before.

She launched this program, was able to help 375 people at once and  made exactly €915,000,- in sales in only two months time. And guess what?

She bought that house.
Without that bank.

What's her secret?

How does Amy get people to buy her program?

To this day, Amy's has had over eight multi six figure launches, over fourteen 50K+ sales days, and most of those days have always come from preorder launches.

Her approach to sales always includes:

  • Being extremely transparent 

  • Presenting a crystal-clear offer

  • Building up a waitlist

  • Sending those people an email with an invite on launch day

“It's kind of like Tomorrowland ticket sales," Amy says. "I send out the email. I see the analytics and clients just keep rolling in.”

Step 1

TikTok as your growth account

null

Amy begins her strategy by tapping into the power of TikTok. By creating engaging, trend-driven content on TikTok, she captures the attention of a wide, diverse audience. This first move is key — it sets the stage for her entire growth plan, giving her a solid base of potential fans who are interested in her content and message.


Step 2

Cross-pollinate your audience to Instagramnull

After building a following on TikTok, Amy shifts her focus to Instagram. Here, she uses a clever mix of strategies to connect with and convert her audience.

  • Middle of Funnel Reels: Amy creates engaging Instagram reels that not only entertain but also encourage her followers to sign up for her email list of listen to her podcast. She often integrates tools like ManyChat to make this process seamless and interactive.
  • Behind-the-Scenes Stories: To build a stronger, more personal connection, Amy shares behind-the-scenes glimpses into her life and work through her Instagram stories. This approach helps her audience feel closer to her, seeing the person behind the brand.
  • Consistent Live Sessions: Emphasizing the power of personal branding, Amy schedules regular live sessions on Instagram to give her audience a set time to engage with her directly, ask questions, and really get to know her.

Step 3 and 4

Nurture your leads through emails and podcasts

null

After guiding her Instagram followers to join her email list and listen to her podcast, Amy focuses on nurturing them. She uses light-hearted emails and jokes in her podcast to build a connection, making them feel more comfortable and trusting towards her. 

Amy smartly repurposes her content by turning her Instagram live audio into podcast episodes. This keeps her followers regularly tuning into her podcast, warming them up for her products.


Step 5 and 6

Pre-order & launch!amy-vandeputte-waitlist-hype-email-landingpage-checkout

For each product launch, Amy creates a waitlist by offering bonuses, discounts and early access for the waitlisters.

"We usually see a 10 to 16% conversion from our waitlist for each launch. So, if we want 100 sales, we'll host an online event or a podcast get people to that waitlist, and we don't launch until we have at least 600-700 people on our waitlist."

With an email funnel, Amy hypes up the people on the waiting list, warming them up even more until the launch moment. When Amy's waitlist hits that sweet spot of at least 600-700 people, she knows it's showtime. She then launches the product. This is the exciting moment when she sends out an email to everyone on the waitlist. The email includes a link to the salespage, which has a link to the checkout page where people can buy the product.
